I found these two beauties in a local nursery but I’m not sure what I’ve got… Eburneum (Madagascar), Tamara, Lucha or something else? I have compared them with WIKI MASTER NAME LIST FOTOS but I cannot for the life of me, definitely I.D. them. Perhaps I can eliminate Lucha? What hints can anyone...

Hello to Pix again… I’m still trying to find a name for my “Pink Spots” and I feel think yours certainly bears a strong resemblance to mine. Please see my following 10 photo essay RE: Your PIXIE post DTD MON24JUL 2017. P.S. Anyone else that would like to name this NOID for me… please chime in...

Folks… please bear with me on this episode where I tried to have some “artistic” fun. I found this nice back yard Croton container garden and with the owner’s permission I took some liberties with photo # 49 by arranging the cultivars in a circular pattern around a Philodendron. After...

Images 01-02-03 & 04: I can’t find this recurved leaf Croton in the WIKI NAME AND IMAGE LIST… to me, this cultivar very much resembles Volutum aka Rams Horn except its coloration and the leaves do not manifest small scoops. The ones I have run into here in Costa Rica have reddish-orange colored...

I’ll start this installment with a partial quote from the WIKI MASTER NAME AND PHOTO LIST. “There exists a controversy regarding this croton. Some think Satan and Irene Kingsley are the same cultivar with two different names …” In addition to file photos 41 thru 45 I am attaching photos...

Below please see the fifth installment of Crotons in the local landscape from my files in order to share with the Croton Society Membership. I’m trying not to be very repetitive with individual cultivar photos unless they are bunched in a cluster, revisiting an old favorite or I do an updated...

I run into the following posted variety (photos) on a semi-frequent basis and I suspect they are all the same cultivar… could it be Bermuda Red? Although listed, there are no photos of this plant in the WIKI Master Name List. A search on GOOGLE produced an interesting photo that look strikingly...

Hello everyone... please see eight more images (pretty pictures) rescued from my Croton files and sincerely hoping that all of you enjoy them.

COUNTRY & CROTONS: Let’s go rural and leave the greater metropolitan area of San Jose’s Central Valley and indulge in one of my favorite pass-times. And that is… hunting for Croton images in Costa Rica’s smaller and provincial communities :).

When I was putting the GLORIOSA SUPERBA pictorial together I became aware there existed a lot of confusion with three varieties… Excellent, Gloriosa Superba and Inca, not to mention Corot. I have no problem with Inca or Corot because I’ve have never seen them “in person” therefore, no problem...

Would the attached photo be what I think is Gloriosa Superba, on the other hand perhaps Corot or other? Need some help please. :confused:

Here is my second installment of 8 more “selected pretty pictures” I dug up from my Croton Photo Files (photos # 09 to #16). Hope you enjoy them :):

Need a little help from the learned Croton Society membership. I run into this variety quite often in my wanderings. The following eight photos are what I believe to be the same Croton variety displayed in different lighting conditions. Please chime in with your comments and perhaps put a name...

Please ignore my last post... TYPO!

The following eight photos are what I believe to be the same Croton variety displayed in different lighting conditions. Please chime in with your comments and perhaps put a name on this ‘NOID’ for me. :)

What to do with all the Croton photos in my files that could be of interest and I have never shared with the membership? Below please see a few of selected pix that I hope you may enjoy.

Hi King David… thanks for your comment regarding MORTII and its red petioles in my photo essay to the Forum DTDSAT27MAY2016. MORTII also has the habit of throwing out all yellow leaves (mentioned in my re: essay), also accompanied by yellow petioles and sometimes even the stem will turn...

Hi Anna: Below please see an additional MORTII description that I dug up in the internet for your consideration … “In Mortii the ground color of the leaves is deep glossy green, the midribs yellow. The leaves are also barred by broad lines of the same color, the broadest part of the leaves...

I bought this cultivar (see attached photos) thinking it was Punctatum. When I went to pot it, surprise! I noticed that it had tiny bright red petioles. To me, it looks identical to Punctatum with 3.5 inch long and a one half inch wide leaf (I suspect they will get longer with time)… plus a...

This is for “THE MOOSE MAN”, I have been following your posts entitled “JUST FINISHED A CROTON PLANTING PROJECT” started way back in 24DEC2012 and recently bumped forward by you and Jeff Searle. By the way, I have enjoyed it very much, especially the names of the cultivars highlighted and your...
